Basic operation

Using your fax machine as a phone

Your fax machine can also be used as a phone, if you have an optional handset installed. The following is a brief look at the machine’s telephone features.

Dialing a telephone number

1 Pick up the optional handset. You will hear a dial tone.

2 Dial the number by the using numeric keypad.

— or —

Press the one-touch key. (See “One-touch phone dialing,” on page 3.3.)

— or —

Press SPEED DIAL/GROUP, then press the three digit speed-dial number. (See “Phoning via speed-dial,” on page 3.5.)

— or —

Press (TEL INDEX), then search the name you want to call using the cursor key. (See “Easy dial directory dialing,” page 3.7.)

3 When the other person answers, begin speaking.

On-hook dialing

Because your machine has a monitor speaker, you can dial without picking up the optional handset. For hands-free dialing:

1 Press MONITOR/CALL. You’ll hear a dial tone (unless you have set your speaker volume to Off; see page 1.7), and the LCD shows:

** Tel Mode **

_

2 Dial the number you want. Use either the numeric keypad, a one-touch key, a speed-dial number or telephone index to dial.

Important: Your machine’s monitor speaker is not a speaker phone. If a person answers the call, pick up the handset to speak.

Note: If the call fails, press MONITOR/CALL to hang up.

Redial

1 Lift the optional handset to get a dial tone.

2 Press (REDIAL). The LCD will show:

View Redial History 0:1234567890

3 Your machine can remember the latest 10 dial numbers. Press or until the dial number you want to redial appears.

4 Press START.

When the other person answers, use the optional handset to speak.

Call request

You can send or receive a fax message and have a regular phone conversation on the same call.

For more information on how to use this function, see page 3.23.

Changing the dialing type

If, with your machine set for “pulse” dialing, you must enter tones (“DTMF”) during a call, press PAUSE/DIAL OPT. five times (the “–!” symbol will be shown on the LCD). Your machine now will “tone” dial all subsequent numbers.

Note: Using this key enables tone transmission from the numeric keypad after the call is connected. When you hang up the call, your machine will return to “pulse” dialing for the next call.

Dialing in the event of a power failure

If your fax is equipped with an optional handset, you can use that handset to manu- ally answer calls in the event of a power failure. But your fax machine cannot send or receive a fax during a power failure.
